unlabelledView post →Demoed at Weird Worlds last week hosted by @richmetson.bsky.social / Semaeopus. My game is far from ready to demo, and I was anxious about putting it in front of people in the current state, but I firmly believe you should ALWAYS demo at every given opportunity for these reasons… 🧵

unlabelledView post →I play Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space (a hybrid Roguelike game of space exploration) a lot some months. It’s charming. Since it’s a short-play, semi-random setup each time, I got progressively more goofy with ship & captain names at a frighteningly rapid pace 😅

It subtly tells the Dreaded One's backstory. Oh, the 2nd game, "Weird Worlds", is the sweet spot. And the 1st one's free. 😉 rich.itch.io

unlabelledView post →I co-designed this game with Iikka Keranen (2005). It turned out to be direct inspiration for FTL. (Weird Worlds + Red November = FTL, essentially.) Indeed, Matt was the most generous supporter of this game's crowd-funded sequel, "Sea of Stars" (2015). Weird Worlds is on sale for 99 cents on GOG.
unlabelledView post →On a more positive note, the way this game handled gang activity was inspired. Specifically, it was inspired by "Weird Worlds", which is a lovely idea, and the implementation continues to inform my own work.
